members list avoiding waste as their #1 reason why they live off
the small of an oily rag.
Apples
- Apples will last longe if
they are stored in the fridge.
Hate waste
dates
- Jaycee
from Kawerau says, “Watch for ‘Use today’ meat
specials, often half the normal price, and freeze for future
use. Towards the
end of the week meat that is already on special becomes an
especially good buy.”
Orange peel
- When dried they make excellent fire
starters. - O.R.
- Grate and use as zest in
baking mixes.
Tea bags/leaves
- Used tea leaves make excellent
fertiliser for pot plants. - O.R.
- Use used tea leaves to make a window
cleaner. Simple pour boiling water on the discarded tea leaves/bags,
leave for an hour, then use. - O.R.
- I save my tea bags and use them
to clean my eye glasses. The bags do a perfect job, and then they go in the garden.
- D.M.
- Tea bags make great fire starters. After brewing your
morning cuppa, flatten each tea bag out and leave in the sun
to dry (or in the hot water cupboard). When dry, store in an
air tight container, add a little kerosene and give it a
good shake. Remove from the jar when ready to use. -
